We invite you and your friends to attend this happy community social and business networking event to "bridge divides, create opportunities, build community, end poverty and facilitate conversations".... Let's Meetup for Conversations over lunch (self-pay) on the 3rd Sundays of each month to meet new contacts and develop new friendships and community allies!

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED!

This is an opportunity to make new contacts, interesting people you may not otherwise meet in person. The community context and the momentum of having this community event at the same time and place on the 3rd Sundays of each month at noon saves time in scheduling one day a month to followup on new contacts, to develop new relationships and to explore new possibilities for advancement on new projects and for mutual support. Express your enthusiasm to the co-organizers and followup if you have some time to invest in expanding your capabilities, gaining new project experiences, bridging divides, building community and creating opportunities to contribute to the quality of life in the DC area.

WHEN: 12:30PM TO 2:30PM on the third Sundays of each month. (you are able to continue networking conversations to dinner time)

There will be networking conversations over lunch to start, followed by a round of self introductions to the group, followed by more interpersonal networking after lunch. You can sit at one or many tables: enjoy lunch with those interested in better health, more joy, friendship, collaboration to end poverty, professional development, prosperity and other topics. Exchange ideas on how people can be truly helpful to each other. Appreciate each other. Learn about new projects!
